Japanese Tool Box

Japanese carpenters all begin their careers with the same simple project – a box to store the tools of their new profession.

The centuries-old methods of Japanese joinery have captivated western woodworkers for the last few decades. Saws and planes that work backwards from ours seem foreign, until you try them out and see how they use gravity instead of fighting against it.

A compact steel cantilevered toolbox with two levels, from toolbox specialist Toyo Steel. Upper two levels include 8 separators for storing organizing small items such as nuts, bolts, and nails, while the bottom compartment has plenty of room for your larger tools. Toyo has been making tool boxes in Japan since 1969.
